Ira Khan is all set to marry Nupur Shikhare in January 2024
While Aamir Khan is in Chennai, daughter Ira Khan's pre-wedding rituals have begun. All set to tie the knot with long-time boyfriend Nupur Shikhare in January 2024, Ira has already started with the festivities in the run-up to the big day.
Ira Khan shared some photos from a ceremony recently, which showed her dressed as a Marathi bride-to-be in a red saree and floral jewellery. She wore a red saree with a golden border and paired it with a black halter-neck blouse. She put up a big red bindi on her forehead and kept her makeup minimal. She also wore floral jewellery in pink and white. Ira posted pictures to give followers a view of her traditional hairdo - a bun adorned with a gajra.
A few days ago, Ira had shared glimpses of another pre-wedding festivity with Nupur, which seemed to be her first Kelvan ceremony. In the pictures, Ira seemed to have been invited to Nupur's house. She dressed in a pink saree and also sported a traditional Maharashtrian nose ring. She had shared a video of herself lovingly feeding Nupur and him doing the same in return. She then recited an âukhaneâ, which is a popular Marathi wedding tradition in which the bride and the groom recite a short poem with each other's name in it.
